DAN BRlGGS' SERMON.
ADDlE J. T1RRELL.

"BOyS,r SAID Charlie Snow, "there
is Dan Briggs getting up from be-
hiud that log. should not wonder
if he has b,eu lying there drunk.
Ny father says he is the biggest
disgrace in town."
Charlie snow was one Of party
of boys who had come to Mark
Smiths cider.mill to suck new ci.
der through straws.
II was a beautiful September
day. he wind that Iustled down
from the red and golden hills blew
crisp and cool around the heaps of
rosy. checked apples thatlay around
the mill, and the old cider-press
squeaked merrily at its work. The
old man whom the boys saw seem.
ed a stain upon the fair morning.
He was ragged, dirty old man,
whose red nose and swollen eyes
told too plainly of his long habits
rs n drunkard. He had come to
the mill for the same purpose as
the boys but it was hard cider in.
stead Of new cider that he was
seeking. As was usual with him,
he had taken too much, and he had
fallen down beside the log, where
he was sleeping when the noise of
the boys aroused him. He sat and
rubbed his eyes q few moments,
while he listened to their cOnversa-
ton. Finally he arose and started
toward them. The boys looked
frightened. and began to draw
back, for Dan Briggs was known
to he often violent when he had
been drinking.
"Don't run, boys" said Dan, u
won't hurt you. I've got sore
thing to say to yOu.'
The boys looked wonderiDgly at
him. What could the old drunk
ard be going to say TO them
"Boys," said be. "do you know
what made me the biggest disgrace
IN town, as heard You say was 2"
"Rrm,' immediately answered
all the boys.
"Not in the first place. said
Dan. 81 began by sucking ;he new
cider through q straw, just as you
are doing here"
"Ilo. new cider won't hurt any
body said Charlie Snow.
$50 thought when was boy"
said Dan. "but | could not always
tell when ii had begun to work,
and after had tasted that which
was worked. found liked it bet.
ter thar way. And | kept on lik.
ing 1t little stronger, until the
first knew / was drunk on cider
at this very old mill. When | was
hoy, folks used to call me one of
the brightest and best bog in town;
but yon know something Of my life
since took to drinking; how ]
broke my mothers heart; how |
drove my wife and children away
from me; bow lost my home, my
property, my honor, everything for
drink. Boys, be careful about cider
# you don't want to grow up to be
like old Dan Briggs"
The old man walked slowly away,
ana leftthe boys SOBER silent group.
After a moments pause, George Hill
said:
"BOyS, for one, am not going
to drink any more new cider. 1t is
cider anyway, and it may lead to
SON hing worse. Besides" George
flushed as he said it, 81 always hunt
now tor the barrels that are worked
a little. Let's quit cider drinking
before we discover we have got his
appetite for strong drink
Mark Smith, the owner of the
mill, who was standing near, heard
all the conversation, and said
"I will quit, too; never thought
before that alternating was very
bad business, but if it is going TO
make such men of the boys as Dan
Briggs, will turn the mill into a
Saw.mill ."-Sciccfcd.

AN ILLUSTRATED WEEKLY.

Harper's Young People has been called
''the model OF what periodical for young
readers ought to be- and the justice of
this commentator is amply sustained by
the large circulation it has attained both
at home and in Great Britain. This sue
cess has been reached by methods that
must commend themselves TO the judy
ment of parents, no less than to the tastes
OF children-namely, by an earnest and
well sustained effort to provide the best
and most attractive reading for young
people at low price. The illustrations
are copious and of conspicuously high
standard Of excellence.
